Answer:
C. When the oceanic lithosphere, which is more dense, sinks and pulls the plate with it
Explanation:
Slab pull and other mechanisms are responsible for the motion of plates. Every tectonic plate is driven by mantle convection.
- Convection is a form of heat transfer in fluids.
- It is as a result of differences in density and temperature values.
- The oceanic crust is denser and colder.
- As hot magma from deep within the subsurface rises and move through cracks, the oceanic lithosphere is drawn down and deeper.
- This cycling between the cold lithosphere and hot rising plumes provides the mechanism that drives plate motion.
The answer is a. partial freezing.

In order to get to the result we will need to use the scale and the numbers that are provided of the dimensions of the room.
The dimensions of the room on the floor plan are 17.8 inches by 21.2 inches. We first need to multiply these numbers with the scale:
17.8 x 80 = 1,424
21.2 x 80 = 1,696
Now that we got the real measures we need to multiply these two values in order to get to a result as in how many square inches is the room:
1,424 x 1696 = 2,425,104
Now we need to convert the square inches into square feet to get to the final result:
1 ft² = 144 in²
2,425,104 / 144 = 16,771.56
So we have a result of 16,771.56 square feet.
Answer:
x = 7, y = 2
Explanation:
Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three sides and three angles of one triangle is equal to three sides and three angles of the other triangle.
From the question:
BD ≅ BD (reflexive property of equality)
Since BD is the angle bisector of ∠ABC, hence ∠ABD = ∠CBD
∠ABD = 2x + y, ∠CBD = 14 + y. Therefore:
2x + y = 14 + y
2x = 14 + y - y
2x = 14
x = 14 / 2
x = 7
Also, ∠BAD = ∠BCD = 90° (right angled triangle)
Since ∠BAD = ∠BCD, BD ≅ BD and ∠ABD = ∠CBD, therefore ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD by angle-angle-side congruence theorem.
The angle-angle-side congruence theorem states that if two angles and one side of one triangle is equal to two angles and one side of another triangle the both triangles are congruent.
ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD, therefore AD = CD
5x - y = x + 13y
13y + y = 5x - x
14y = 4x
14y = 4(7)
y = 4(7) / 14
y = 2
